In a box on the shelf
Where I had put away
Part of myself

Was a dream I forgot
About a girl I had sought
So long ago now

I didn't know myself then
I didn't understand
Who I would become
Someday

But the man I find inside
The one I often hide
Is trying to tell me he's ready
For you now

You came along without a warning
Now you're my song every morning
And I can't turn back
And pretend you don't exist

So I'll open up that box
And dust off this dream
I'll take a chance like never before
And look inside of me –
There you are

It's you –
I know it is

That hair and those eyes
That smile and that charm
The way you stand
The way you hold your arms
And everything you do and say
You are the part of me that was taken away
Before I had a chance
To know that part of me

But something in my heart knows
And I can't shake it
I try to run but how can I run
From myself
Since everywhere I go
There you are
In my heart
